YEP Says: Welcome news in turbulent times

THESE ARE uncertain and turbulent times politically and economically so if you had money to invest you may think twice and take the safest option.

So the fact that plans are being drawn up for 780 new apartments on a derelict site in Leeds near the Victoria Gate development is welcome news. It’s good that Victoria Gate is on its way and that the John Lewis sign is now in position - a real sign of the times that Leeds is on the up.

Leeds was recently named as the third best place in the whole country for investment. It really is a good place to visit, to shop, to work and to live. We should celebrate that.
